FunTranscript
00:00They say that the longer the position is, the longer it will last in the Church Of Christ.
00:16Wherever I go in the Church Of Christ, I will ask you to marry me.
00:21As long as you are with me.
00:24Till death do us part.
00:27If we are given a second chance in life, I will still choose you.
00:37And when the one is found, he will be left alone. What else is there to do? Marry him.
00:43Whether there is a tradition or not, I am not afraid to marry him.
00:48Because he is the only one who accepted me, loved me, and put a lot of effort in our relationship.
00:58But what if the occasion is full of happiness, instead of sadness and embarrassment?
01:06I hope he is still there, he is still strong.
01:10I hope he is still there, he is still strong.
01:13It's almost perfect that we will have a wedding when he is still there.
01:21Let's go and kiss and be in love, because it's already June, it's time to get married.
01:29For our episode tonight, I wonder, what does Juan believe about marriage?
01:40Marriage is a celebration that should be celebrated.
01:45But what if the two love each other?
01:49You will almost go to the brink of death.
01:53The married couple, Hero and Anne, will almost be separated happily ever after.
01:58Why is that?
02:00There is only one thing I tell them,
02:02they should avoid going out.
02:05If possible, just stay at home.
02:08You know, it's like the saying of the day,
02:11when you are about to get married, when you are about to have an accident,
02:15just relax, just chill, just stay at home.
02:18They didn't listen.
02:24The two got to know each other in the company where they work.
02:27I am a company nurse in the company where my husband works.
02:33I don't know the reason why I saved his name on my cell phone.
02:40Maybe in case of emergency, when I need a wife.
02:49That's where it all started.
02:52The relationship between the two became happy.
02:55That's why after a few years, they decided to get married.
03:03But a few days before the wedding, their relationship was tested.
03:09Because the two, Hero and Anne, were soon to be wed,
03:13they had an accident a few days before the wedding.
03:16That day, when we were on our way home,
03:19that's not the usual route that we take.
03:24That road is a dark area,
03:29and it goes down.
03:33That's when I got out of control of the motor's crank.
03:38Maybe because the day of the event was coming,
03:42somehow I thought that we've been riding for a long time.
03:48There were a lot of days that we could have an accident.
03:56It's said that it's hard to remember.
03:59The wedding was near the accident,
04:01but it's hard to remember the day of the wedding.
04:04It's said that it's hard to remember.
04:06The wedding was near the accident,
04:08especially a few days before the day of the wedding.
04:11Whether it's true or not,
04:13for Hero and Anne, nothing can stop their love.
04:19That's why even though the wounds on Hero's face are still fresh,
04:23their marriage is still going on.
04:28It's hard and I'm in pain.
04:31I'll be with you until the end.
04:34Let's make our dreams come true.
04:36Usually, I don't think about the wedding.
04:39I just think about him.
04:41How is he?
04:43A lot of people said to move.
04:45For me, it's more important than the bride.
04:48All eyes on the bride.
04:50For me, it's okay.
04:52I don't think about the wounds and all.
04:54We didn't expect what happened.
04:57But still,
04:59thank you.
05:01Because here we are.
05:02We're here.
05:04We've been waiting for this day.
05:07I just thought that I look like an action star
05:09because I have a bandage on my face
05:11and I need to put on shades.
05:13Maybe it's a test.
05:15We thought that nothing can stop our love.
05:20If there's a chance that we'll have a second life,
05:25I'll still choose you.
05:27To the many people that we meet every day,
05:30possibly, one of them is the one that's destined for us.
05:34And when you find your one,
05:36you shouldn't let it go.
05:41But before the wedding,
05:43there are things that will make us believe.
05:46One of them is,
05:48there's a mixture of fear and anxiety.
05:50It's called,
05:52fear.
05:57Fear.
06:06Carmina and Brian have been married for 2 years.
06:09Their wedding day is their 5th anniversary
06:13as boyfriend and girlfriend.
06:15And for the drama in the movie,
06:18they met because of Carmina's ex.
06:22Because they have a motorcycle.
06:25After they broke up for 2 years,
06:29that's when I started liking her photos on Facebook.
06:34Just heart to heart.
06:37And Carmina thought that it's just a trip,
06:40for the road to forever.
06:43But after 2 years of relationship,
06:45as a couple,
06:47Brian invited Carmina to the wedding.
06:51But just like their ride,
06:52the road to forever of their relationship,
06:54there's a smooth part,
06:56and there's also a rough part.
07:02Their wedding was canceled several times.
07:07Not once, not twice,
07:09but 4 times.
07:13And in their last reschedule,
07:15they made an allowance for 1 year
07:17for the insurance.
07:19But they didn't expect the wedding to be canceled.
07:23A few days before the wedding,
07:25Carmina's mother came back to life.
07:30Their journey is full of sadness.
07:34Carmina and Brian also continued their wedding.
07:38It's also hard to cancel it,
07:40especially after just a few days.
07:43Just a smile from my parents is enough for me.
07:47Because I'm really looking at my family.
07:51So that's it.
07:53So when the door of the wedding was opened,
07:58I couldn't stop crying.
08:00Because I remembered my mother right away.
08:04She was smiling,
08:06waiting for me.
08:08Because of their decision,
08:10a lot of their family members were upset.
08:14And this is because of a lawsuit.
08:21Aside from the known lawsuit against the wedding of the siblings,
08:24there is also a lawsuit against the death.
08:27In which the bride and the groom
08:29will get married in the same year
08:31that a relative died.
08:35In spite of what Carmina and Brian went through
08:38before their wedding,
08:40their faith remains strong.
08:44Their union also became stronger
08:47because of the trials they went through.
08:50If there is anything that Carmina will regret,
08:53it is that if her mother is still alive,
08:56she will be able to reach her grandchild.
08:59Every night,
09:01I couldn't stop crying.
09:04I miss my mother so much.
09:07I hope that if you are here,
09:10it would be a waste if you couldn't reach your grandchild.
09:16Next on iWONDER!
09:20This wedding in Iloilo is attracting a lot of attention online.
09:26But what if there is an explosion
09:29just a few steps away from the new wedding?
09:32It had a good effect on us.
09:35It gave us a happy reunion.
09:40The Sinulog Festival in Cebu is known all over the world.
09:46Because of its colorful and beautiful costumes.
09:50And the happy parade of the dancers.
09:55Even the tourists came.
09:59All of these are gifts for their patron,
10:03Santo Nino.
10:10But did you know,
10:12there is also a version of Sinulog in Iloilo.
10:16And it is not just done for the festivities,
10:18but also for weddings.
10:24This wedding in Iloilo is attracting a lot of attention online.
10:31But what if there is an explosion
10:34just a few steps away from the new wedding?
10:43I wonder, what is the origin of this Sinulog in Iloilo?
10:48Let's find out.
10:53Here in Sitio Balod in the town of Leon, Iloilo,
10:56we met the newlyweds, Johnny May and Remond.
11:01Their lives became colorful.
11:06Their love story started with vegetables.
11:11Remond used to deliver vegetables to Johnny May's stall in the market.
11:16I saw her in the supermarket in 2015.
11:22I think it was her first time.
11:25I asked for her number and her ex-mate.
11:31Until she answered me.
11:37They got to know each other.
11:38They got to know each other.
11:42Until they were able to level up their relationship to forever.
11:47We've been in a relationship for almost 7 years.
11:51Then, when we were 6 years old, they got married to us.
11:56Then, we prepared for the wedding for 1 year.
12:01Their wedding went viral online.
12:04Because of this video, it became part of their wedding celebration.
12:09Where there are men who fight for their wives,
12:14there's nothing to be afraid of.
12:17The fight for wives is called Sinulog in their place.
12:21It's a part of the tradition, when there's an occasion,
12:25the elders believe that it's a way to get rid of bad luck.
12:29Sinulog is a way to get rid of bad luck.
12:35It's a traditional dance here in Bukid.
12:40Every festival, wedding, or funeral, there's a dance like that here.
12:46Sinulog is only for the elders and our ancestors.
12:52The system has a group called Baonkol,
12:55which is invited to dance.
12:56Their props, instead of images of saints or any other instruments,
13:02they use a hammer, or what they call locally, an itak.
13:08But I wonder, how did this traditional dance start?
13:13According to the leader of the tribe,
13:16even though they're used to it, they're not sure where and how it started.
13:22When we asked the experts,
13:24none of them could tell us where it started.
13:27Sinulog originated from Kalis.
13:32Kalis is a form of martial arts that the ancient Filipinos did.
13:37Instead of Kalis, they inserted it as Sinulog,
13:40and eventually, it also originated from Arnis.
13:43Rituals, or ritual dances, according to anthropologists,
13:48can be considered as an expression of a community.
13:51Although it's different for others,
13:54for the couple Johnny May and Raymond,
13:57there's nothing wrong with believing it.
14:00In fact, the couple thinks that this is what strengthened their relationship.
14:05It had a good effect on us.
14:08He gave us a happy company,
14:12a good body, and our family.
14:15It was good.
14:16But whether it's true or not, belief is important.
14:20No matter what happens, they'll still choose each other.
14:24Whether there's a tradition or not,
14:28I'll still marry you because you're the only woman I love.
14:35Thank you for loving me.
14:37And I hope we'll be together as a couple.
14:41I love you.
14:42I love you as well.
14:45I love you.
14:50Some people strongly believe that they should get married before living together.
14:55But for our wonder, Michael and Cindy,
14:58they should get together first for a stronger relationship.
15:05Their friendship started when they met each other in their high school reunion.
15:09We used to be classmates.
15:11We talked to our classmates in grade 7
15:14that we'll meet again someday.
15:17Until three days passed,
15:20we had a communication that we're just the two of us.
15:24Then, we decided to meet.
15:29They talked to each other every day
15:32until their feelings for each other deepened.
15:35But just like other relationships, they're not always happy.
15:39If you really love me, you'll fight for me.
15:43Because my mom doesn't vote for me.
15:46They don't have a voting rate.
15:49So what happened was,
15:52I told her that I love her.
15:55I married her.
15:57Despite what others might think,
16:00Michael and Cindy decided to get married.
16:02From others' point of view,
16:04this became a way for Michael to prove to his parents
16:08that Cindy is the one for him.
16:11And by living together in the same house,
16:14their relationship became stronger.
16:17Until their love bloomed.
16:24And after five years of living together,
16:28the two of them decided to get married.
16:33The two of them will get married this June in Kasalang Bayan, their place.
16:37And when it comes to marriage, budget is needed.
16:41That's why Vegetarian Bride is there to the rescue.
16:44I'm Camille Farnella.
16:46I'm the person behind the page of Vegetarian Bride.
16:50Camille also became a bride once.
16:53That's why she knows the stress of wedding planning.
16:57So to help Michael and Cindy prepare for their big day,
17:02they will ask for tips from the Vegetarian Bride herself.
17:07My goal is to help soon-to-weds like you who are planning a wedding
17:12within a budget and as much as possible stress-free.
17:16So can I know if you have a wedding date?
17:21June 24.
17:23Kasalang Bayan.
17:25As the Vegetarian Bride, can I know the budget?
17:28Around Php 5,000.
17:30Php 5,000.
17:32Here, I prepared a checklist for you that you can do
17:38to help you plan your wedding.
17:41We have a list of what you need to prepare,
17:44like what you will wear, wedding gowns, groom's attire.
17:49And since the budget is limited, usually the cheapest option that others do
17:55can be rental or we can buy second-hand wedding gowns.
18:00I just have one for my sister.
18:03Oh, you have something to wear.
18:05In the checklist that I gave you, there are also non-negotiables.
18:10What are non-negotiables?
18:13Non-negotiables are usually called things that you can't lose in your wedding.
18:19You can dream of a makeup artist, dream of a gown, and also dream of a wedding venue.
18:25I hope that the checklist that I gave you helped you,
18:29and I hope that you can save a lot in your wedding planning.
18:33Cindy and Michael will accompany me to look for their wedding essentials.
18:39But the challenge should be within the budget.
18:43She can do this and she can also get married now.
18:51With the help of the tips of the Vegetarian Bride,
18:54let's bring it on and help us look for a wedding OOTD,
18:58our wonder couple, Cindy and Michael.
19:08If Cindy has borrowed a wedding gown from her sister,
19:15Michael hasn't worn it yet.
19:19Oh no, don't worry, Fairy Godmother Susan is the key.
19:25These are our wonder couple, Mark and Cindy.
19:28This is a bridal store in Quezon City.
19:31Are you renting this place?
19:32Yes.
19:33How much is the rent?
19:35It's every June.
19:36It's every peak season.
19:37Peak season of June?
19:38Yes, June.
19:39May, June, yes.
19:41Speaking of foregroom, we have someone to marry here.
19:45And we also have a fashion stylist here.
19:50Sandro and the couple.
19:53Let's go inside.
19:58Sandro, let's help them choose for you.
20:04Let's go inside.
20:07Mark and Alimawa, you will choose.
20:10What color do you think will suit this couple?
20:14The color I want to grow is black.
20:17But if you prefer other colors.
20:19What color is this?
20:20This is blue.
20:23What's your favorite color?
20:24Blue.
20:26He likes blue.
20:28Sandro, does this suit him?
20:29Yes.
20:33What will happen if he wears this?
20:34Will he grow taller?
20:36Will he get more handsome?
20:37He will get more handsome.
20:39How much is the rent?
20:41This one, Alimawa?
20:42It's 3K to 5K.
20:44Oh, it's 3K.
20:46Sandro, is 3K okay?
20:47Let's call Mark.
20:49Yes, better tomorrow.
20:502K to 5K.
20:52Can I ask you something?
20:55Yes, you can.
20:56If this suits you, can you marry me today?
20:59I don't want to.
21:01You don't want to?
21:02What do you want?
21:06It suits you.
21:07You can marry me today.
21:10Next, wedding outfit check.
21:14It's in love.
21:16Congratulations, Cindy and Michael.
21:17We wish for a happy and lasting marriage.
21:24Yes.
21:25I believe in marriage because it's sacred.
21:28It's a blessing.
21:29Yes.
21:30Because it will make a family strong.
21:32Because that's when you'll know how much you love each other.
21:36It's like a ring.
21:38You should stay for your family because you have someone to marry.
21:42Because that's how you pay back to your family.
21:45Marriage here in the Catholic Church is not just a promise
21:50between two women and two men.
21:54It's a commitment between the two of you and God.
21:58It's like the three of you are helping each other.
22:01Our goal is to build a beautiful family
22:05that fears God and loves each other.
22:11Juan has different opinions
22:13but according to Juan, according to the expert,
22:14it's important, especially when it comes to the law.
22:18Marriage is about the formality of being together.
22:22Now, when you go into the legalities of marriage,
22:26it's the wife's right, or the parents' right, or the children's right.
22:30You should know the rules of being together with each other.
